Welcome back to Ping! We talk about the return of robot combat return to television, we chat about a one-way ticket to Mars on the space desk, and more stories that 'softies are pinging each other about...

I would like to see a flying robot class, due to the popularity of drones. It could be done without the use of projectiles like guns or missiles(e.g.: maybe saw blades in sync with propellers, hydraulic battering rams that when you ram the drone it punches them against the crowd protective wall or just destroys one of your rotors, or heavy weights you can drop from above another drone, if you get that advantage).

I never felt like the tv shows captured how big these robots were. You felt like you watching like robots the size of RC cars, when reality was they were bigger than your lawnmower. I watched anyways, and was always fans of the flippers and saw blades ones

I always hated the flippers. I wanted to see things get torn apart, not just flipped over. For my bot I think it would be cool to have a swarm of smaller bots that get released from the main bot. Each can latch on with magnets and then just start drilling in while the main bot pounds away with a big spike hammer.

The other change I always hoped to see is for them to use AI instead of remote controls.
